Hello everyone.
I'm attempting to follow the short tutorial below but I'm stuck at a step and was hoping I could get help from someone more experienced in Photoshop.
There is a part after creating the 'squiggly line' effect from the Difference Clouds filter that instructs the user to "Apply Layer Mask" to the layer, however I'm confused with how to do this with the information that is provided. I'm pretty sure that the author left out some steps.
Basically I'm struggling with trying to figure out what needs to be done to make the black background of the 'squiggly line' layer to be transparent. I know that I can change the blending mode of the layer but then I wouldn't be able to add the necessary effects to the 'squiggly line' later on in the tutorial.
Could someone with a better understanding on how to achieve this please help fill in the blanks?
